Surgical procedure

After atraumatic tooth extraction, the granulation tissue is completely removed. The osteotomy is prosthetically driven, in order to provide a second premolar screw retained restoration with an occlusal screw access hole. In order to satisfy this criteria, the implant is more favorably housed in predominantly native bone, mesio-lingually to the center of the defect (left).

The implant (NobelParallel™ CC RP 4.3 x 13 mm) is placed with 20 Ncm insertion torque, with buccal threads exposed to the defect area (without bone contact) (right).

Surgical procedure

Placement of creos™ xenoprotect inside the extraction socket to protect creos™ xenogain from exposure to the soft tissue through dehiscence (left).

Surgical procedure

Placement of creos™ xenogain into the bony defect. The implant is covered with a 3 mm healing abutment (Ø 3.6 mm) (left).

Healing after 8 days with slight membrane exposure (right).

Surgical procedure

Post-operative CBCT showing sufficient bone augmentation of the buccal wall dehiscence (left).

120 day follow-up: during the final impression visit, the healing abutment is changed. A wider diameter allows a better management of the final restoration emergency profile (right).
